Mens Matchplay League  

Men’s Matchplay League

The Men’s Matchplay League, sponsored by The Shamrock Restaurant, has reached the halfway stage and it’s very close at the top of the table, with only 2 points separating the top three players. Aidan O’Rourke has edged out in front with 13 points, followed closely by Paul Healy and Declan Byrne, who both have 11 points. This league has been supported enthusiastically by all the players and the matches between the different individuals have been fiercely competitive. With another 6 rounds to go, nobody is ruled out of being the winner of this league. Due to the Inter-Club game being played on Saturday, only one round of the league, round 9, will be played this week.
The inaugural Men’s Matchplay League is now in full swing, and all the participants are enjoying the challenge.
This league has been sponsored by The Shamrock Restaurant, O’Connell St., Dungarvan, and the club is most appreciative of such a very generous gesture by this popular local restaurant.


Men’s Inter-Club Competition
Our Men’s team travel to Fermoy on Saturday, May 2nd, to play the first round of the Men’s Inter-Club Competition where their opponents will be the team from Tipperary Hills Pitch and Putt Club. All the players on the team are eagerly looking forward to this game and, with a bit of luck, can start this year’s competition with a victory over a very capable Tipp Hills team.

Bonus Number

Pitch Marks
Leaving Pitch Marks when playing destroys the greens, it takes a lot of care and attention to keep them in pristine condition, so all members and green fees are asked to repair them and use the correct repairer when doing so.
Also do not use the club head to take balls out of holes on greens as this damages the hole.

If anyone has an hour or two Mondays to Fridays to spare to give a hand helping on the course you would be very welcome.

HOSTS OF GENTS ALL IRELAND STROKEPLAY CHAMPIONSHIPS 2015

Ladies National  Social Day 

On Saturday last a 100+ ladies descended on The Cunnigar Pitch and Putt, they came from all over Ireland for this National Ladies Social Day.
It was an open draw for a 3 ball scramble (36 holes) which meant that ladies would be drawn with people they had probabley never met before.
There was no local success but everyone who played was a winner and made new friends for life and to top off a lovely day Jacinta O'Mahoney and Ann Wall both got a hole in one.
The conditions were good and sunny with a blistery wind but the wind didn't hinder all the high scores on the day.
The main topic of conversation was the magnificent course and the warm welcome the visitors got when entering our club.
The course was, as always, in immaculate condition and its a credit to all those who work so hard on the course to keep it in the style our members and visitiors come to expect it to be in.
NEC officer Paudraig O'Shea in his speech said he had yet to see any course in better shape, in his travels around Ireland.
We would like thank all the ladies and gents who made this day such a success.
Also a special thank you to the officers of the NEC for attending and hosting this event at The Cunnigar Pitch and Putt Club.
